Thanks Mike!

>>Double-click the camera again to go to full view and edit mode.

thats the part i was missing...

I'm just trying to export a small section of video (to email to someone). I right-click the screen, and there is a "snapshot" selection that takes a still .jpg, but to export a section of video i ASSume i need to convert/export, but its greyed out... I am sure I am missing something simple...

hmm, thinking about it, I guess BI still needs to decode the video streams to run the motion detection algorithms.... That makes sense. I'm glad I finally sat down to read and follow the "Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage" wiki article!

I changed hardware acceleration from none to Nvidia NVDEC (this PC has a fancy gaming video card). CPU usuage went from about 70% to %35. awesome! But I'm a little confused: I have all my cameras set to record "direct to disk". I ASSumed that meant BI was just dumping the raw streams from ...

ok, i found the topic titled "Evaluation water mark now showing despite registered account" so i think i know why this is happening. I emailed support to try and get it fixed. I am hoping that I don't need to pay for another license or "support" plan. I was NEVER informed that th...

I'm posting this in case it helps someone else... TLDR: use SATA ports 1 and 2, NOT 3 and 4 full story: Ever since i built a new PC 10 months ago I've suffered with spikes in RAM usuage followed by harddrive corruption. I replaced harddrives multiple times, played with clip storage allocation, and i...

I might have finally figured out what caused the "locked file" error messages (which hopefully also was causing all my other problems...). I had only allocated 10 Gigs for the "New" folder, after which it was getting moved to Stored. Apparently some BVR files were being moved to ...

Well, something was holding it.

Make sure your BI drive is excluded from Search Indexing, and, Your anti virus program.

my BI PC has no antivirus program. I did go ahead just now and disabled indexing, thats a good idea...

Each clip is counted as a 'file', if you would excuse another silly question, what defines a "clip"? I have all the camera's set to record continously. I thought each camera gets recorded to a single file until some maximum file size is reached. or does a new "clip" whenever mot...
